mc218 & sms/opl

[xfr02]

Hi

I'm trying to write a supervisory program with my mc218, and I was wondering if there was any way to send an sms through to my SH888 mobile, programmatically?

basically, what i need is if it receives a certain string through the serial port, then it sends a sms to my mobile. I have thought of a couple of ways to do this, but i don't know which is:

a) feasible
b) actually possible
c) the easiest

the thoughts I had was, using DDE (if it exists) to "talk" to the messaging program, or B) talking directly with the phone via code.

as the message wouldn't be changing that would actually be sent to my mobile, there's not a variable message situation.

does anyone have any ideas, pointers to existing code on how to do this. I'll be using OPL as a language.

regards
Charles

what you're trying to do immediately makes me think of Phoneman - the excellent mobile phone management and SMS app from www.zenobyte.com

Don't know how willing he'll be to share information (probably a lot more so if you were prepared to register his excellent app!) but there's a forum in the support section of his site. I'd go ask a few questions there if I were you.
